HUTCHINSON, Kan. — It's time for the party to celebrate the diamond anniversary of the Hutchinson Art Association. It's Friday night from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Art Center at 405 North Washington.
"The party is free," said Barbara Withrow with the Art Association. "It's going to be this Friday night and boy, we've been planning this. It seems like forever. It has been months and months. And I want to acknowledge the two co-chairs on this because it was a huge undertaking and that's Anne Richardson and Pam Gertken. They have put in so many hours on this and you're going to be able to enjoy it when you come in Friday night from five to eight."
There will be food fads from the last 75 years and Drawings on Demand from Jennifer Weigel.
"She will be there and you can give her a topic. She's going to be like a virtual AI artist," said John Eberly with the Art Association. "She will draw it and you can color it or take it home with you or whatever you want to do with it."
There will also be 75 years of music.
"Emily Kohls is an employee," Withrow said. "She's in the office there and she is going to be the DJ. She does everything. She wears so many hats. She's very creative. She took the top three songs every year for 75 years. That'll be playing on a loop. And so whether you like the Beatles or funk, hip hop or classical music, it'll all be there. That's kind of fun. I've been working on the vintage clothing display and we're going to have mannequins set up dressed in vintage clothing from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s."
The event is a come and go time from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.
